What is Sin?

[LoveGodsWord]

So you believe it is possible for a person to have no sin? No sin at all, by nature or otherwise?

Hi AGTG, nice to see you again. According to the scriptures the good news of our Lord Jesus Christs gospel is complete salvation from sin. That does not mean we will not have temptation and never be tempted as it is written "Blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.* James 1:12. God promises however that when temptation comes if we submit ourselves and draw near to him *James 4:7-8 he will with the temptation make a way of escape from the temptation so that we are able to bear it *1 Corinthians 10:13. Not only do we have God's promise of forgiveness of sin which is given as a free gift *Ephesians 2:8-9 to all those who believe through the blood of Gods' dear son but God promises complete salvation from sin so that we will not perish but have everlasting life *John 3:16; John 8:31-36. According to the scriptures, God promises to also cleanse (clean or remove) *1 John 1:9 us from all sins so that we are no longer a slave to sin (see also John 8:31-36) and promises to remember our sins no more (Hebrews 8:10-12 from Jeremiah 31:31-34). The former in the scriptures is called justification where we believe God's Word confess and repent (turn away) from our sins and receive God's forgiveness and mercy (see Proverbs 28:13; 1 John 1:9; Acts of the Apostles 2:38) for sins purchased as a gift for all mankind through Gods' dear son because he loved our world so much and was not willing that anyone should perish and be lost *John 3:16. What your talking about now in your question in this post from the scriptures is called "sanctification" this is Christian growth and is a work (e.g. -1 Thessalonians 4:4; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; 1 Peter 1:2) of a lifetime as we learn more and more about Jesus through His Word and how to follow him. It is not God's will that we sin but if any man sin we have an advocate with the father Jesus Christ the righteous *1 John 2:1. The test to know if we are from God or not from God is found in obedience to Gods' Word according to John in 1 John 2:3-4 because sin is the difference between the children of God and the children of the devil in 1 John 3:9-10. So in times of ignorance if we do not know any better God does not hold us accountable for sin until he gives us a knowledge of the truth of His Word (sanctification) and we are sanctified by believing and following what God's Word says. If we receive a knowledge of the truth of God's Word and reject it that is the time we are held accountable for sin (see James 4:17; Acts of the Apostles 17:30-31 which links to Hebrews 10:26-31.The reason why Jesus says we have to be born again *John 3:3-7 is because we have a carnal mind and as all those who are born again do not practice known unrepentant sin according to John in 1 John 3:6-9; 1 John 2:3-4 and Jesus in Matthew 7:21-23; John 8:31-32 (see also what Paul says in Romans 6:1-23; Romans 3:31 and Romans 8:1-4). This is God's new covenant promise of salvation from sin revealed in the gift of God's dear son in Hebrews 8:10-12 from Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Ezekiel 36:24-27. According to the scriptures Gods' people as they grow in grace through faith, keep all the commandments of God they know about depending where they are at in their christian walk (1 John 3:9-10; Revelation 12:17; Revelation 14:12; Revelation 22:14).

Hi AGTG, nice to see you again.

That does not mean we will not have temptation and never be tempted as it is written "Blessed is the man that endures temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.* James 1:12.

With Gods promises/covenants means he cannot break them. So to promise his elect eternal life and than let them fall away after being born again would be breaking a promise.

What your talking about now in your question in this post from the scriptures is called "sanctification" this is Christian growth and is a work

I was actually asking about the doctrine of ''sinless perfection'' of the believer. No problem, we'll roll with this.

of a lifetime as we learn more and more about Jesus through His Word and how to follow him. It is not God's will that we sin but if any man sin we have an advocate with the father Jesus Christ the righteous *1 John 2:1.

I interpret this to mean there is an anticipation for believers to sin but assurance that Christs atoning work is sufficient for salvation.

The test to know if we are from God or not from God is found in obedience to Gods' Word according to John in 1 John 2:3-4 because sin is the difference between the children of God and the children of the devil in 1 John 3:9-10.

I agree obedience to Gods law is the distinction between the lost and Gods people. This is summarized by loving the brethren, not keeping every single law in Gods legal book. Although keeping the general laws is important. No born again believer can lose their salvation because of sin.

So in times of ignorance if we do not know any better God does not hold us accountable for sin until he gives us a knowledge of the truth of His Word (sanctification) and we are sanctified by believing and following what God's Word says. If we receive a knowledge of the truth of God's Word and reject it that is the time we are held accountable for sin (see James 4:17; Acts of the Apostles 17:30-31 which links to Hebrews 10:26-31.

So by knowing what sin is, the believer is expected to walk in perfect harmony with Gods laws? What about dreams? Can dreams count as sin? I can recall many prophets in communication with God through visions and dreams.

The reason why Jesus says we have to be born again *John 3:3-7 is because we have a carnal mind and as all those who are born again do not practice known unrepentant sin according to John in 1 John 3:6-9; 1 John 2:3-4 and Jesus in Matthew 7:21-23; John 8:31-32 (see also what Paul says in Romans 6:1-23; Romans 3:31 and Romans 8:1-4).

I agree with the need to be born again. How do you think this is done?

How can a person with a carnal mind repent? The carnal mind cannot please God. So in this state, how can the carnal person act benevolent to God? Becuase we are dead in our sins, so God needs to save us.

Romans 8:7-9
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

This is God's new covenant promise of salvation from sin revealed in the gift of God's dear son in Hebrews 8:10-12 from Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Ezekiel 36:24-27. According to the scriptures Gods' people as they grow in grace through faith, keep all the commandments of God they know about depending where they are at in their christian walk (1 John 3:9-10; Revelation 12:17; Revelation 14:12; Revelation 22:14).

The law is on the heart now, not stone tablets. But thank you for the time you put into the post. I appreciate that.

Very simply Gods' promises are for Gods' elect who are defined in the scriptures as all those who believe and follow Gods' Word not those who do not believe and do not follow *Matthew 10:21; John 10:26-27; 1 John 2:3-4. We are born again as we believe and follow Gods' Word *John 6:63; John 8:31-36; John 17:17. This is God's work in us as we believe his Word (Philippians 2:13) and what it means to walk in the Spirit (Word) *Galatians 5:16. Temptation is not sin. We sin when we make the temptation our own and lust after it. Once again there is no temptation common to man that God will with the temptation make a way of escape so that we shall be able to bear it. Resist the devil therefore and he will flee from you and draw near to God and he will draw near to you.

God bless

I started this thread to talk about sin.

I invite all members to offer their view on what sin is, its origin, the effect it has, how it relates to Gods decrees and any other aspect related to sin.

Feel free to contribute.

"Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." --1 John 3:4

 

[GallagherM]

@Religiot what if the law and ordinance where nailed to the the cross; once and for all people; would there still be transgression of the law? Or would there be a simply quenching a the spirit because of sin that may have been against God or to a fellow neighbor?

 

[pescador]

"Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." --1 John 3:4

But don't omit the following verse: " But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins."

Sin has no relevance to the life of Christians, sine the penalty for all sin has been paid.

Grace is nothing more than a free gift. And that free gift is our access back to the tree of life (Jesus) which Adam caused us to lose by disobeying God. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (Romans 5: 12) But to maintain your grace you must keep the law. (1John 3:4) Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Now we have just read the biblical definition of sin, the transgression (breaking) of the law (commandments.)

Paul says in (Rom. 7:7,12) (v.7) What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, THOU SHALT NOT COVET.

Paul asked a question, is the law sin? He said God forbid, he said the only way that he knew what sin was, was by the law. (v.12) Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Why in the world would a Christian want to do away with something that God said is holy.

Paul says in (Rom. 4:15) Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. If there is no law there is no sin. Also Paul says in (Rom. 5:13) (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. If there is no law, there is no sin!

I disagree that Christians are required to keep laws to sustain their salvation.

Good works will manifest in a believers life but this is not for the purpose of earning salvation. Obedience to Christ are a result of being born again, not prerequisites to being saved. Good works follow being saved, they are not the condition by which we are saved.

So the law is Holy but the creatures they were designed for are not Holy.

We are saved from ours sins and due punishment by Grace alone (Eph 2:8-9) and will continue to walk with God, being sanctified, not falling from his Grace (2 Cor 4:16).

Bro T never said we keep the law for our Salvation. We keep the law because its how we show love to our Creator and Savior and is a fruit of our faith. It shows we place God's will above our own because sin is selfishness. Doing our will, not God's.

 

[All Glory To God]

Bro T never said we keep the law for our Salvation. ...

Not those exact words but the statement of faith he made implies just that.

The member said "But to maintain your grace you must keep the law" which amounts to the same as keeping the law to sustain one's salvation. Because we are saved by Grace. And those without Grace have the wrath of God upon them. And if salvific Grace is conditional and based on continued meritorious works, then salvation is absolutely dependent on keeping the Law. According to that view.

Why anyone would not want to keep God's laws that He personally spoke and personally wrote with His own finger and stored in the Most Holy of His Temple is beyond me! Especially when Jesus says If you love Me, keep My commandments. John 14:15, John 15:10, 1 John 5:3

Is that in the Ten commandments, or part of the law of Moses that ended with Christ as our sacrifice? Hebrews 10:8-10, Colossians 2:14

My Sister in Christ, I think you are not understanding my position. For a better understanding of views on law and how it ties into salvation, you could look over the last couple of previous posts I made.

I am not an antinomian and believe a professing Christian that does not have good works to accompany their testimony of faith, is missing something fundamental. But that's exactly what works are-the result of regeneration, not the grounds or maintenance for regeneration. (Eph 2:10)

Hope that has clarified my position on the matter a little.

Anything that is not in accord with the attributes of GOD is sin, is evil. It is not just that HE doesn't like it but that it is contrary to all the goodness that HE is. That is why the blasphemies that HE creates evil for some reason are so awful, they denigrate what HE is at HIS core being.

HE is light and no source of light can create darkness. When HE expresses HIMself it is always in the purest light, the purest truth and the purest love. If you gotta play games with words to make this true in your theology, your theology needs to be rethought.

Pardon me for saying so but that's a very simple explanation of what sin looks like. Some members in this thread have been exploring other facets of how sin works in Gods council and the human experience.

Can you teach us something that hasn't already been covered in this dialogue? I would hear that message.

 

[Religiot]

@Religiot what if the law and ordinance where nailed to the the cross; once and for all people; would there still be transgression of the law? Or would there be a simply quenching a the spirit because of sin that may have been against God or to a fellow neighbor?

You misunderstand, greatly, viz:

THE LAW IS GOOD

"But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust." --1 Timothy 1:8-11

THE LAW CONTAINED IN ORDINANCES WAS AGAINST US--THE LAW OF DEATH AND CONDEMNATION

"That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: but now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; and that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: and came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; in whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: in whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit." --Ephesians 2:12-22

"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: in whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (Touch not; taste not; handle not; which all are to perish with the using) after the commandments and doctrines of men? Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh." --Colossians 2:8-23


THE FORMER ADMINISTRATION OF GOD'S LAW WAS THE ADMINISTRATION OF DEATH AND CONDEMNATION

"Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: how shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: and not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: but their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." --2 Corinthians 3:2-18


THE NEW ADMINISTRATION OF GOD'S LAW IS THE ADMINISTRATION OF GRACE AND TRUTH

"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." --John 1:14

"John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." --John 1:15-18


THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE LAW IS NOW TRANSLATED TO CHRIST

"If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being changed*, there is made of necessity a change* also of the law." --Hebrews 7:11-12

*change, not in form, but transferred, that is, from one to another, viz:

3331 metathesis met-ath'-es-is from 3346; transposition, i.e. transferral

CHRIST THE NEW ADMINISTRATOR CAME TO MAGNIFY THE LAW AND MAKE IT HONOURABLE

"They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods. Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the Lord's servant? Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not. The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable. But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come? Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the Lord, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law." --Isaiah 42:17-24


ISRAEL DID NOT KEEP GOD'S LAWS

"Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?" --John 7:19


THE BORN-AGAIN KEEP GOD'S LAWS

"For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another." --Romans 2:13-15

"Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." --1 John 3:4

--There is much more to say about this, but for the time that should suffice.
